Hi Mark and Group:
As stated by Doug, the original 300H belts were black. They were factory
installed only on the front seats and were attached to the floor (very
important!). Early 300Hs came without belts unless ordered, but they were made
standard equipment fairly soon therafter. This made the 300H the first American
production car to have seat belts as STANDARD equipment----at least as far as I
can determine. 300ly, Gil C.

Subject: Hi Chrysler 300 Club members!
Hello to all members,
I just joined the club and look forward to picking your brains about
my newly acquired 55 Chrysler C-300.
First question: Can anyone recommend the best method of softening the
leather interior? The tan leather is intact and not cracked to the
point of showing holes, or open spots. I want to prevent this from
happening. So far, I've used "Armor-All Leather Conditioner" in one
application. My plan is to do this weekly for about 12 weeks or so
until the suppleness returns.
All the Best,
David

I have used a product called LEXOL. They have a leather cleaner and a
separate conditioner. It is available at auto parts stores. Perhaps
others have experience with this product also.

Subject: '65 300-L parts for sale
I have several '65 300-L dash pads in good condition. However, they are 38 years old and have been stored for half that time, so are faded from original color and all of them would need repainting. I could repaint them black, but no other mixed paint color. I have a price of $l00.00 (one hundred dollars) each on them. Mirror is in very good condition - no pits - chrome is shiny. Complete and ready to install - price is $50.00 (fifty dollars). Rear package shelf cover with 300 emblem needs repainting. Price is
$50.00 (fifty dollars). Headlight glass covers, left and right - complete - the price on the pair is $l00.00
(one hundred dollars).
I don't have 300 emblems to fit rear quarter panels.

I need to mention that prices I've quoted on the '65 300-L parts do not include the UPS shipping charges. I need your address to find out the amount the UPS will charge to send to your address.
I will include the UPS charges in the amount you need to make out the check or money order for.

Subject: Forced sale of 64 300K
Gentlemen and ladies. I see no other way to alleviate the financial crunch
that I am in temporarily but to sell my 64 300K. I have tried and tried to sell
my low mileage 6.9L Mercedes to allow me to keep the 300K, but I cannot get
anyone to buy it. I cannot keep both, so I am offering my newly fixed and
painted car for sale. I bought it last year from a soon to be deployed soldier at
Ft. Hood TX. I trailered it back here and had it completely repainted (tan) and
had the suspension completely rebuilt as well. Spent close to 4,000 on the car
in the last year. It is a rust free car that has an interesting history
according to the receipts I have. Started life in Ca. spent time in Hawaii, and I
got it in Texas. The car is a factory air car (conv. to 134) nice seats and
carpet and headliner. It is powered by a 1966 440 with a Carter 4 barrel. I would
sell this very reasonably to a club member if the Benz doesn't sell first. I
can email pictures, and will talk partial trades plus cash too. I hate to sell
this car, as I have wanted one forever, but, I have to face facts here. If
you would like a really clean 300K. This might be it. Email, or call me
608-779-9305. FFGREG32@xxxxxxx

And approx. the same with the 235 !!! Overall diameter of 225: 27.62.
Overall diameter of 235: 27.87.
Bias (BF Goodrich) 9.00 x 14 : 28.68 so around 1 " taller
I've 225 (235 weren't for sale 2 years ago) on my '57 Imperial which was
factory equiped with 9.50 x 14 and i lost around 2 inches (9.50 is 1"
taller than 9.00).
Thanks to adjustable torsion bars (and air shocks at rear...).
But these radials are good tires !

Bob:
There was an option in 1962 that you could get on Dodges (and maybe
Plymouths) that was a low block 383 with 343 Horsepower that had the in-line
2X4 setup, which is what your manifold checks out as coming from, based on
the casting number.
It was a rare combination (a friend of mine had one in a 62 Polara
Convert around 1970) and was a perpetual class winner at the drags as it
provided a better package than virtually anything else in its class (E or F
stock, maybe - It's been a long time!)
There was also a famous 1962 Dodge Station Wagon called "Behemoth" that ran
this combination quite successfully in the 1960s.

I will be using a Carter AFB from a '64 Imperial.

Paul:
At New York National Speedway in Center Moriches, LI.
It was an AHRA track, but I think that is immaterial - the 343 package was a
Mopar offering (albeit perhaps dealer installed, but I am not sure).
Nonetheless, it was recognized at the sanctioned level by NHRA, I am sure.
Why anyone would give you grief about your 300C is beyond me. There are many
other cars that were far more "borderline" as far as NHRA or IHRA rules than
a 300C!

Subject: Glass Wax
Folks,
I seem to recall some messages a while back concerning Johnson's Glass Wax.
Looks like it may have been manufacturer-discontinued, based on what I see
on the web (It may have actually been manufactered buy someone else besides
Johnson's Wax in recent years.)
Has anyone come across a vendor that may still have a "stash" of it or found
a similar replacement product they have personally used and liked? Note: I
have been using one of the "formulas" that one member posted here for a
"cleaner" - I just would like to use something similar to that Wax to keep
the glass cleaner longer.
It was great stuff.
Thanks,

Folks,
My wife frequents a store that we visited a number of years ago that
had Glass Wax. It is not being made anymore, but they have a new one made
exclusively for them based on the same formula. The store name is The Vermont
Country Store. The website address is : Your usual www and then
Vermontcountrystore.com. Look under cleaning supplies and they address the Glass Wax situation.
They even have Fels Naptha soap and a thousand other old time goodies
there.
Phone number at the store is: 802-362-8460, it is in Vermont!

I have used product successfully for many years. As far as I know, you can
still purchase from Orchard Supply(a Sears owned chain of hardware stores in
Calif).
I now use microfibre cloths for cleaning my auto windows. Find that the
high quality ones(some are junk) used with plain water or perhaps a final
wipe with Windex do a fine job of cleaning interior auto windows with nary a
smudge.
Glass Wax instructions for cleaning windows should not be followed exactly.
They suggest to apply with a damp sponge, allow to dry and then to wipe
clean.
This leaves a powder residue all over your auto interior(especially in the
fuzzy window stuff). I found 20 years ago to not let it dry after
application, but to wipe immediately while still wet. Does not change
cleaning results and eliminates the mess.
Also some regular auto cleaner/wax products do a good job of cleaning
interior windows. Another great tip is to NEVER use Armor All(the ultimate
amateur product--yes I have a very strong opinion on this) or such silicone
based systems on interior windows(or for my money anywhere on your auto).
These type of products(silicone based) upon evaporation leave this nasty
film on your windows and is nigh on to impossible to remove(also if you are
wondering why your interior black surfaces as well as tires are turning
bronze, look at the product that you are using). I use only 303
Protectant(there are other such water based products that work well) on my
interior vinyl surfaces(works well for leather) and also on tires. Gives a
nice dull satin sheen, protects, cleans and does not scum windows and turn
tires bronze/brown/gold.

Folks,
My wife frequents a store that we visited a number of years ago that
had Glass Wax. It is not being made anymore, but they have a new one made
exclusively for them based on the same formula. The store name is The
Vermont
Country Store. The website address is : Your usual www and then
Vermontcountrystore.com. Look under cleaning supplies and they address the
Glass Wax situation.
They even have Fels Naptha soap and a thousand other old time goodies
there.
Phone number at the store is: 802-362-8460, it is in Vermont!
